| Title: How to help customers write effective security RFPs Author: Pete Sclafani Date/Time: September 16, 2009 Summary: The request for proposal (RFP) is a common tool used by customer organizations to get pricing comparisons from various solution providers. Responding solution provider submissions serve as a starting point for decision makers at the organization, as the proposals they receive help to determine which vendors or solution providers are worth considering, and which can be ruled out right off the bat. Positioning security in an RFP can be a challenge for an organization, so solution providers may need to provide assistance to ensure their customer companies get the best possible submissions back.
